COMMERCIAL vehicle rental specialist Enterprise Flex-E-Rent has announced the opening of a new branch in Ellesmere Port, creating five new jobs

The site, located on an industrial estate near junction 10 of the M53, is one of Enterprise’s 24 specialist commercial vehicle locations in the UK.

The network ensures businesses have access to the right commercial vehicles as well as maintenance and servicing where and when they need them.

Customers can access a comprehensive range of commercial vehicles at the new location, from small vans to HGVs.

The vehicles based on-site include dry freight and temperature-controlled trucks as well as tractor units, tippers and wheelchair-accessible minibuses.

From this branch, Enterprise will also be able to assist customers that require fast access to a van or truck when their own vehicles break down, have accidents or require servicing.

Danny Glynn, managing director of Enterprise Flex-E-Rent, said: “Our new location in Ellesmere Port adds another important link to our national branch network and enables us to better service customers in the region as well as national businesses that need vehicles in North Wales and the Wirral because of an accident or breakdown.

“Keeping drivers mobile means minimising downtime, which is a significant cost for any business operating vans or trucks. Replacement vehicles will be a key focus for the new branch.”

The new Ellesmere Port location of Enterprise Flex-E-Rent is being run by branch manager Jonathan Barker.

The new jobs created include branch managers, customer assistance employees and drivers.
